Overview
Offering an ultra compact finesse package, the Daiwa SC Shad 5 SP Crankbait is a super small profile crankbait that is deadly on all species of predatory fish. Built with a shad shaped body, the Daiwa SC Shad 5 SP Crankbait produces a deadly hypnotic action that generates aggressive reaction strikes when the fish are targeting small baitfish. It also features an incredibly realistic look, photographic appearance, and rattling eyes that will call fish from a distance.
Super versatile as well, the Daiwa SC Shad 5 SP Crankbait can be used with a steady retrieve to produce a consistent action or it can be twitched like a jerkbait to create an erratic darting action. It is also outfitted with premium VMC treble hooks to ensure a high hook up and fish landing ratio. Offered in vibrant and natural colors that fish just can’t resist, the Daiwa SC Shad 5 SP Crankbait is the ultimate small profile crankbait.

Comments: This is a FANTASTIC trout jerkbait. It's nice and small and very finesse when you're fishing for pressured brown trout. If you want a great little BFS trout jerkbait that suspends nose down then this is the bait for you. My only complaint is that the paint comes off rather quickly.

Comments: Great finesse crankbait! Really good winter crank when the bite is tough or if the bass are feeding on smaller bait fish. Other reviews mentioned catching other species besides bass and that's definitely true! I've caught bream and crappie along with spots and largemouth. It's one of those confidence baits that just flat out gets bit! It's a tiny bait so naturally the hooks are micro sized and light gauge wire. Probably best on a spinning reel with a good drag but can be used on a baitcaster as well! Daiwa always delivers premium grade fishing equipment and they did not disappoint with this bait!

Comments: Great finesse jerkbait for smallies, especially the bubble gum color. Suspends well and is something fish don't see a lot. Hooks are very sharp but fragile so use caution if you need to use pliers. You will absolutely catch fish when throwing this bait.

Comments: was sick when I found out, way too late, that these were out of production. Couldn't get 'em anywhere, stopped fishing with the few I had left, and cursed Daiwa like a dog. They're back! Only in 6 colors; hopefully more to come. This is a go-to for me, catches a lot of different stuff, and I always feel like I'm about to get bit when I'm working them. Great little crank/jerk baits, highly recommended.

Comments: The Daiwa SC Shad was a go to bait even in Australia at a recent Hobie bream competition very versatile bait to jerk or slow roll the flats and ripping weed edges.

Comments: Great go to bait. This is diawas reintroduction of the original SC Shinner. I've caught ever fish species in Kentucky with this from bass to small muskey. When nothing else works turn to this bait and you'll be sure to catch one. When buying buy multiple.
